long in the library with her son, and on
her exit from the jail Mrs. Fischer was
admitted. She went into the library and
her lamentations were heard above the
tramp of the deputies who swarm about
the place.
BUT THE GROWING SCENE
of all was the visit of Nina Van Zandt,
the proxy wife of Spies. She wa con-
Quoted to the library by Deputy Oleson.
As she walked through the main office
she betrayed no emotion. The moment
at which she saw August, however, COM
pletely changed her demeanor. There
was a look. then a gasp, and in a trice
the lovers were in each others arms. A
bevy of curious reporters and officers
crowded up to the door of the library, but
it was quickly shut by the deputy. The
faithful devotee lasted nearly half an
hour. What actually transpired will
never be known to the world, but it was
sufficient to bring a glimmer of tears to
the eyes of the old deputy, In half an
hour the lovers bad parted, and the ex-
element of the entrance of Nina had
passed.
AT 6 O'Clock there was an influx of den
uty sheriffs to the jail. Men who had for
years been serving civil writs and not
bothering their heads about hangings,
came in; They all wore heavy overcoats,
and in the right hand pockets of these
were bulky objects which, to the eyes of
the inexperienced, were plainly revolvers.
Orders were given %forbidding the entrance
OF any one not connected with the press
or the sheriff office. Then some of the
deputies went to supper and matters
quoted down. A rumor was started to
the effect that Schwab and Fielden would
be removed to Joliet at 6:3O O'Clock, but
Jailer Folz declared he had no orders to
that effect.

THE GOVERNORS REASONS
Why He Interposes Executive CIemency in
Two Cases.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Nov. lO.-Governor
Oglesby in considering the anarchist cases
says
If the letters of Albert Parsons, Adolph
Fischer, George Engel aud Louis Lingg
demanding unconditional release, or, as
they express it, liberty or death" and
protesting in the strongest language
against mercy or Communication OF sentence
pronounced against them, can be consid-
cred petitions, pardon, could it be granted,
which might not imply any guilt what
ever. upon the part of either of the m,
would not be such q vindication as they
demand Intervention upon.
The grounds insisted upon by the four
above named persons, could in no proper
sense be deemed an exercise of the CON
stitutional power to grant reprieves, com
mutations and pardons, unless used upon
the belief on my part of their entire limo
cence of the crime of which they stand
convicted. A careful consideration of
tie evidence in the record of the trial of
the parties, as well as of that alleged and
claimed for them outside of the record,
has failed to produce upon my mind any
impression tending to impeach the YER
dict of the jury or judgment of the trial
court, or of the supreme court affirming
the guilt Of all these parties.
Satisfied, therefore, as | am, of their
guilt, | am precluded from considering
the question of Communication of the SEN
tence of Albert R. Parsons, Adolph
Fischer, Geo. Engel and Louis LinGg to
imprisonment in the peniteniary as they
emphatically declare they will not accept
such Communication. Samuel Fielden,
Michael Schwab and August Spies unite
in a petition for executive clemency. "
Fielding and Schwab in addition presen t
separate and supplementary petitions for
Communication -ot their sentences. While,
as | said above, | am satisfied of
the guilt of all parties found by the YER
dict of the jury which was sustained by
the judgment of the courts, a most care
full consideration of the whole subject
leads Inc to the conclusion that the SEN
tence of the law as to Samuel Ficlden and
Michael Schwab may be modified as to
each of them, in the interest of humanity
without during violence to public justice.
And as to said Samuel Fielden and Mich
acl Schwab, the sentence is committed to
imprisonment in the peniteniary for life.
While | would gladly have come to a
different conclusion in regard to the SEN
tence of the defendants. August Spies,
Adolph Fischer, George Engel, Albert r.
Parsons and Louis Lingg, | regret to say
that under the solemn sense of the obliga-
tio1s of my office, l have been unable to
do so. fSigned

The governors decision gave general
satisfaction in Springfield. Policemen are

Two regiments of the National Guards

His name is Scheutze. The information

THE MAN AND THE OCCASION.
Broad Shouldered Fielden EIectrifies the
Assembly,

Fielder was worthy the occasion. He
had been in the background on the
wagon with ~Schnaubelt, the bomb. thrower,
Spies and other directing minds, who saw
plainly that something must be done, and
quickly. Therefore, when his turn came,
tielden stepped boldly to the front, dis
carding all pretense of mildness. He
electrified the rabble at once. The crowd
swayed eXcitedly backward and forward in
the narrow shadowy confines of Des-
PLANES street, into which they had come
from the open square, and pressed eager
lY closer to the Pickering gas lamp that
lighted the speakers shaggily bearded
face and powerful form. When he trag-
ically urged the wrought-up mob, stand
ing in plain view of a police station, to
throttle and kill the law" the disguised
officers in the crowd saw the necessity of
PRoMPT ACTION,
and word was passed to their commander.
Capt. Bontield, followed tie plain di-
rections of the state law covering
exactly such cases, gave orders to have
the meeting dispersed. Seven companies
of police, IT'S men, led by himself and
Capt. Ward, marched in platoons, ex-
tending from curb to curb, the short dis
lance on Desplaines street from the stat
ion to the speakers wagon, As the po-
lice approached, Fielden shouted to the
crowd: Here come the blood hounds.
lou do your duty, and Iii do mine"
Capt. Ward, in a loud voice called out:
In the name of the people of the state
OF Illinois, | command you to peaceably
dispense. Fielding, stepping down from
the wagon. gave the "ruhe' exclamation:
